Bridgestone Mexico’s Bandag Plant is located in León, where the company manufactures retreaded tires that offer its customers the most economical option, in addition to reducing emissions by 92,266 tonnes of CO2e every year.
Retreading costs approximately 60% less than a new tire, offering the same driving and maintenance conditions and guaranteeing the same mileage as a new tire.
Retreading tires mean that they will not end up in landfills, rivers or along the sides of roads and highways, preventing the proliferation of mosquitos that transmit viruses, such as dengue and chikungunya. Furthermore, fewer non-renewable natural resources are used, such as petroleum. The retreading process uses less petroleum than that used to manufacture a new tire.
